Rob Gronkowski momentarily lost his mind last Sunday, as he made like a WWE star and slammed his forearm into the back of cornerback Tre’Davious White’s head during the Patriots’ game against the Buffalo Bills.
While Gronk, who received a one-game suspension for delivering the late hit, claimed his actions were born out of frustrations over calls being made against him, as well as non-calls on opposing players attempting to cover him, there was no excuse for his behavior. There is no justification for taking a cheap shot at a defenseless player. None.
That said, does the Patriots all-world tight end have a gripe?
